Newcastle officials are stunned by widespread reports in Italy that Sandro Tonali has admitted betting on Milan matches during his time as a player at the Serie A club.
Tonali, who arrived at Newcastle in a £55million transfer from San Siro this summer, would face a long-term ban from football if he made such a move, potentially leaving a significant hole in Eddie Howe’s squad, with It will also raise awkward questions about football’s strained relationship with gambling.
Ban
Tonali’s Italy teammate Niccolo Fagiolo has already been handed a seven-month worldwide ban for breaching betting rules.
As it stands, Tonali, whose agent admitted he is struggling with a gambling addiction, could still be selected by Newcastle for Saturday’s game at Crystal Palace.
